Patata kiesha - Potatoe Salad

As it's the season for BBQ's I couldn't resist adding this delicious potatoe salad to my list. It goes extremely well with my pasta salad and can also be made upto a day in advance. It carries well and funnily enough is also vegetarian so can be enjoyed by all especially my mother in law ;-) 

Ingredients (serves 6 -8)

 

600g new potatoes or floury potatoes

1 small red onion

2 spring onions

3 hard boiled eggs

2 tablespoons horseradish

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Bunch of flatleaf parsley 

Salt and pepper to taste

Wash the potatoes from any soil. Put the potatoes and eggs in a pot of cold salty water and bring to the boil until soft when pierced. Drain and leave to cool until you are able to peel the skin off the potatoes. I find that the hotter the potatoe, the easier it is to remove the skin.

Once peeled, leave to cool and chop in bite size chunks. De-shell the eggs and chop into chunks. Finally chop the onion, spring onion, the parsley and add to the mixture.

Mix together the mayonnaise and the horseradish (if this is not available, Wholegrain mustard or Dijon mustard will do as a good substitute). I like to add a few tablespoons of warm stock or water to help dilute the sauce and thin the coating. It will help to mix and cover the potatoes evenly. Season with salt and pepper and gently combine all ingredients together.

This can be either served at once or refrigerated for a later use.
